Lips quivering,
Voice shaking,
Eyes darting,
From teacher and back.
Fear of being caught,
Of impending treachery,
Talking in class:
Without permission.
Body language:
Inappropriate,
Expression: playful
Beyond acceptable.
Teacher turns,
All hush, eyes wide,
Flood of innocence,
Order accepted.
Giggle, whisper,
Muffled joy,
Game of pinball,
Re-deploy!
